Today is my 39th birthday.
I am a very lucky man.
I am extremely fortunate in that I get to do exactly what I've always wanted to do, which is be a professional circus clown, and be lucky enough to earn a living at it.
For that I am very, very thankful.
For that I am very, very thankful.
I also have a truly wonderful wife and a really great son.
My dog? Well, Honeybear getting better but she'll never be as good as our old one, Knucklehead.
I'm fortunate to have so many really great friends, in circus and clowning as well as outside, in the "real world".
I just want to tell everyone that I deeply appreciate the response that this blog has received. It's really exploded in the last few days and we're receiving more hits than ever before, from all over the world. Through it I have gotten to meet some truly great folks like Bill Strong, Robin Estes, Mike Keever, Dean Chambers, Bernie Kallman, Fred Pfening and many, many others who have sent photos and messages which have contributed greatly to this project.
After only two months, we now receive hundreds of hits a day from every corner of the world. Not bad for an internet site that has nothing to do with pornography, violent video games, conspiracy theories or conspiracy theories about violent, pornographic video games.

Happy Birthday, Patrick. Matthew and I have been keeping tabs on the site, and enjoying it tremendously. Especially the Elmo Gibb mention...I met him in 1998 at the PA Ren Faire and had lost contact with him over the past 2 or 3 years.
